Five Weeks, September 15 through October 20

“I have decided today that approximately 1000 refugees should be immediately brought from Italy to this country.” With this announcement by FDR began a most amazing, but little-known story of a group of refugees brought here for many and varies reasons. An experiment, an example? This is truly an amazing story and together we are going to research and discuss all the details. Where did they come from? How did they get here? When? Who was in charge? Where did they settle? There is so much more, so many more questions. And, a truly dramatic conclusion!

Mary Nowak has a BA and MA in American history from Boston University. She taught American history and U.S. and world geography in Brookline. She has led several study groups for LLARC on women in the Suffrage Movement, the Labor Movement, the Progressive Movement, the American Civil War, and America’s Internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII.

The Fourteenth Amendment is part of a trio of amendments-13, 14, and 15-passed to ensure for all time the rights of all blacks, but especially the newly freed blacks who might be denied those rights by the defeated South. These Amendments have come to have a very important place in all our lives today. We are going to research the background, history and some major Supreme Court rulings dealing with the Fourteenth Amendment. Some topics include: birthright citizenship, due process, equal protection of the laws as well as state obligations regarding the Bill of Rights, the meaning of and application of privileges and immunities and regulations applying to representation in the House of Representatives, who could serve and who could not. We’ll look at the history of these rights and how and why controversies abound about some of these today.

In this course, we’ll explore the foundations of America’s favorite sport, the most complex, dangerous, and misunderstood of major sports. This course is designed for the novice and casual fan, but even football devotees should find value in our exploration of this contentious yet compelling entertainment/way of life.

History isn’t just a collection of facts etched in stone. It’s a dynamic narrative filled with turning points, triumphs, and tragedies. Even decades after a historic event, it can be the center of endless and spirited debate. Historical controversies and the questions surrounding them may never be put to rest, but that doesn’t mean people will ever stop trying to find the answers. In this course, we’ll discuss controversial and sometimes “historical footnotes” that are often swept under the carpet and not discussed such as the Katyń Massacre, ethical decision making of Jewish doctors and nurses in the ghettos during the Holocaust, the “good” Dutch myth, sexual violence against Jewish women in ghettos and camps during the Holocaust, the court action of Filomena Leszczyńska against historians Barbara Engelking and Jan Grabowski, the Cambodian genocide, the Rwandan genocide, the crimes of sexual violence in Bosnia and the achievements of the ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia), and Putin’s atrocity playbook in Chechnya. Also, we will discuss America’s response to these controversial topics in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and what brutal lessons we have learned from them.

Kara Torres-Kilgannon is a historian specializing in Holocaust and Genocide Studies; she earned a BA in History from Sheffield Hallam University, an MA (in Law) from the University of Sheffield, and an MA from Yeshiva University. She is pursuing her PhD in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Gratz College.

Mondays 1 to 2:45 p.m., In Person
Five Weeks, September 15 through October 20

Fashion photography has existed for a century, and most of it has relied only on pretty faces to sell products. But not when it’s been in the hands of Richard Avedon, Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Horst P. Horst and others. They turned fashion photography into art. Their beautiful, striking, dramatic and even daring work can be compared to history’s great fine art. In this course, you’ll learn how artful fashion photography began and evolved, and who made it happen. Go behind the scenes with fashion shoots and not only meet the legends who worked behind the camera but also those who posed in front of it. But mostly, see and discuss history’s greatest fashion photos.

Steve Kendall has taught art history-related courses for LLARC for the past 19 terms, and is a former recipient of the LLARC Bernie Shuster Award for teaching excellence.

“Books and movies are two very different mediums that provide distinct forms of entertainment, but which is better? Both forms of entertainment offer a variety of different things that people find enjoyable like their ability to take us to different worlds, imagine new realities, learn new things, and a way to de-stress. The biggest difference between the two is that movies give viewers visuals to focus on while books challenge readers to imagine and interpret the story in their own unique way. This and other differences can make one medium better at telling a story or providing a better form of entertainment.”

Readings:

• Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
• Mrs. Galloway by Virginia Wolfe
• The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
• It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
• The Lost Husband by Katherine Center
• The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

Tuesdays 1 to 2:30 p.m., In Person
Five Weeks, October 28 through December 2

This is an in-depth, discussion-focused course that will focus on the amazing evolution of the four major sports over the past 75 years, in concert with an analysis/debate over the dramatic changes in the incredible athletes that play the game as well as in the sports themselves.

Jeff Epstein is a true New Englander, having attended The Fessenden School and Phillip before earning a BS in Economics from McGill University and an MBA from Columbia University. During the Columbia years, he showed his true genius in the field of sports wagering while betting the unheard sum of $500 (his entire summer earnings) on the Yankees to win the World Series, and then needed his mom to pay off his dear “bookie” friend as the mighty Yankees were swept in four straight games. After a stint in the corporate world after his MBA, he was roped into the family jewelry and diamond business for a couple of decades before personal tragedy led him to review his life priorities. He returned to his roots at Fessenden both teaching and coaching football, basketball and baseball. For the last fifty years he has bought, sold, and raced horses while managing small partnerships. Jeff is a true sports guy.

In this 10-week course, we will examine 10 international directors from different countries and their movies which give us a vision of their world. How does the director’s nationality influence his or her view of the topic? What is the vision of the world that the director presents? Is the story of the film unique to its particular country or could it have taken place in another country or setting? How would it have been told from the point of view of another culture? In what ways is it universal? Did you learn anything new about the country/culture in which the film is set? We will explore these questions in addition to our usual examination of the artistry of the filmmakers and their themes in our discussions. The films we will view and discuss will be: M (Germany); The Seventh Seal (Sweden); Breathless (France); 81/2 (Italy); Room with a View (England); Raise the Red Lantern (China); The Piano (New Zealand); All About My Mother (Spain); In the Mood for Love (Hong Kong); Shoplifters (Japan). (These titles are subject to change.)

We will meet on Zoom on Tuesdays beginning on 9/16 and ending on 11/25 (with no class on 9/23) at 1 for a viewing of the film. The discussion will follow afterward, ending at approximately 4 p.m. For those class members who prefer to view the film independently, the length of each film will be posted on the Course Syllabus, and you may join us just for the discussion.

Ronna Frick has led literature and film related discussion groups at LLARC since 2010 and is a former recipient of the LLARC Bernie Shuster Award for teaching excellence.

Five Weeks, October 22 through November 19

We will discuss four previous threats to our US democracy from the 1790’s to the 1970’s and look at possible current threats. The previous four threats to our democracy, are political polarization, racism and nativism (native born vs. immigrants), economic inequality and excessive executive power. Convergence of these four threats may lead us to a grave moment for our US democracy. We will review how earlier generations faced these threats and repaired our civic fabric and renewed our democracy.

Jack Miller is a retired engineer with teaching experience in engineering, mathematics, business, and LLARC. His lifelong interest in history focuses this class on how the US has managed to navigate past democratic crises, with possible clues to avoid current and future threats.

A novel by definition is a work of fiction. However, Charles Dickens, one of the greatest novelists of all time, said a novel should have verisimilitude. It should seem like it is true, that it could actually happen. As we read Life of Pi we will ask ourselves if the events could possibly be true as they are told to us. At the end of the book we will decide if we believe Pi’s story.

Ghana is a country rich in history, stories, and traditions. My 20-day visit there back in the day was very powerful. In 2016 I was one of 15 people at the Harvard Bookstore listening to Yaa Gyasi talk about her novel Homegoing. She signed my book “Hope you enjoy the novel.” I loved it. It is the story of the descendants of two sisters from early 19th century Gold Coast. The trans-Atlantic slave trade and its consequences are part of the story. Let us discuss this novel along with history from Zeinab Zawawi (originally from Sudan). That is, an African view of Ghana. The last session will be devoted to an understanding of slavery as seen by the Montgomery, AL, museums of Equal Justice Initiative and the Ghanaian sculptor who has created many pieces for Montgomery museums and for his own museum in Ghana. For the first class please read Homegoing through the end of the chapter, “Quey.”

James Joyce’s Ulysses is widely celebrated as one of the great masterpieces of twentieth century literature. Its indelible characters, epic themes, intimate realism, imaginative style, poetic prose, and unparalleled literary connections present a unique reading experience. The book, at 730 pages, is, however, a daunting read, unguided. Though the entire novel covers one day—June 16, 1904—in the Dublin life of its three protagonists, we will take a leisurely guided tour in two semesters through the emotional, cultural, spiritual and psychological struggles of Leopold and Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus on the most “ordinariniest” of days. The class will be primarily a guided discussion of each chapter, one per class.

• Participants can anticipate approximately two to three hours of reading (or listening to the audio version) weekly.
• This course is Part One, covering the first half of this complex book. Part Two will be offered in the spring and will complete our tour.
• Please note that this class will meet at the Fine Arts Center at Regis College, 235 Wellesley Street, Weston.

Books and Other Resources:

• The Hans Walter Gabler edition of Ulysses is highly recommended as it has line numbers for easy reference. In addition, I will provide explanatory materials for each class.

Transgenderism is the hot spot in the American culture wars. Candidate Trump and affiliated PACs spent over $200M on ads during the 2024 Presidential campaign attacking Kamala Harris on transgender rights. (“Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”) On his first days in office in 2025 President Trump issued six executive orders circumscribing transgender activities. State legislatures have considered 701 bills in 2024 alone on the subject, with over 50 enacted. (In just the first quarter of 2025, 854 state bills were introduced.) The US Supreme Court issued four rulings on transgender rights, including one in June 2025 upholding a Tennessee law banning medical care for trans minors. Next Term the Court will hear cases on conversion therapy and transgender athletes in sports. This interactive course will parse through the rhetoric to consider the science, the law, and the history to discuss what rights transgender adults and minors should have, especially when in potential conflict with others (parents, teachers, women). The format will be primarily discussion based on the assigned readings. Participants can anticipate approximately one to two hours of reading weekly.

Books and Other Resources: I will provide links to various internet materials in advance for each class.

This course is aimed at people with an unsatisfied interest in math, who for some regretted reason never got around to taking any more math than is necessary for a liberal arts major. Together, we’ll refresh your math memory and delve into areas of math you may never have studied (or learned well the first time…). I’ll use diagrams and descriptive algebra to explain such things as long division, adding fractions, binary numbers, and how the Romans managed to multiply whole numbers with their unhelpful way of writing numbers down. Diagrams will include some geometry. We’ll proceed at a pace that works for everyone, with an emphasis on practical application of the beautiful world of math.
